About this episode

TJ Payne discusses his journey from Hollywood to self-publishing and working with a major publisher.

Today I have TJ Payne on the show to chat about writing and how his career has taken him from Hollywood writing rooms to self-publishing to publishing with one of the Big 5. TJ’s screenwriting experience includes cherished memories working with Rob Reiner and on new and upcoming Netflix shows like The Boroughs (produced by the Duffer Brothers) and Little House on the Prairie. I also chat about his latest book, INTERCEPTS. All links and show notes available at https://www.sheworeblackpodcast.com/
